What is a Bully? What’s the Point What’s the point Of me being here? I don’t get it, I feel worthless, Like I will be gone With the wind. Nobody will remember me You wouldn’t want To be in my place. They call me a freak just Because I’m different. If they only knew How bad it hurts. I will be strong Because it’s the only Choice I have. Maybe it’s because I’m strong That they keep hurting me. —Alexa

a Bully
If You Are Being Bullied
If you are being bullied you should... First, try telling them to stop. Then, if they still don’t stop just walk away. Finally, if they just keep doing it consult a teacher. The most important thing is: DON’T BE A BULLY BYSTANDER! —Ethan F.

If A Girl Dared to Dream Like a rose in a crack of concrete, She is a miracle. No one knows what she has been through And had to accomplish. To compare her to a summer’s day Is still not enough to describe her. She looks for love not with her Eyes, but with her mind only. Therefore, she is a very good friend. She would rather listen than speak. She feels that you need to gain her trust To unlock the door to her heart. Her kindness and Sincerity aren’t the Only things that stand out. It’s her looks, too. When she steps into the busy street Her silky hair Sways as the Wind whooshes by. Her skin radiates as The sun shines down On her. She walks with bounce And has a purpose in life. -Joselyn C. Life-Long Dream To be part of a team Nothing extreme My mind begins to daydream I drift downstreLm Immediately an idea that is supreme Suddenly a sandpaper scream I get as cold as ice cream I turned as white as sour cream To be part of the symphony Oh, what a dream. My eyes have a joyful gleam. My trumpet began to scream. Like a well known theme The stars show in its beam As I begin with my team Blood running to the extreme A duet, a double-team! The performance is supreme. -Rachael P. Started out as a low school reject, Nothing much was expected from me, My mistakes, I recollect, I didn't care in retrospect! Sitting, my hands on my controller, It seems to be the only thing I control. Power on, Worries off, They just seem to fly out the window. Broken, but I'm picking up the pieces! I was broken but I'm picking up the pieces! Scattered, gathered, Yeah, we all matter, No matter who you are. No indication, To my life direction, No group formation, But now we are!

Someday Someday, I want to be a teacher But first, I need to finish school Someday, I would like to get college degree And maybe Master’s degree will be cool. Someday, I want to be a singer When I am older Someday, I wish I will find a lovely guy So I can put my head on his shoulder. Someday, I want to be an artist Have a wonderful life and good work to do Someday, I will have a remarkable family All my dreams are going to come true.

When I grow up, I shall be an artist, Creating words through time, For the world is too barren of colors and rhyme, Dazzle millions with my creations beyond imagination.
My Life-Long Dream Creativity. Bottled up. For who knows what. I’m overflowing with ideas.
Although a game designer would be pretty neat, But an Animator could be such a treat Designing a world of nightmares and imagination Or animate a show with enchanted incantations.
They will satisfy the growing hunger humans are longing for. I will feed the people with my art. Hydrate them with my writing.
But alas, I must start somewhere... For I can’t just go here to there on thin air I'll study hard, be able to see far, For one can't limit imagination for such things, Spread my mind and fly on starlit wings! Enduring school isn’t easy, But it’s essential for learning our skills, Animating, games, even artwork aren’t exactly fulfilled. High school will be a bit annoying to pull through, For my dreams to be reality I’ll be better off enduring. College: for that’s when my dreams shall be true! -Nikolette M.
Live for Adventure Life’s too brief not to have adventures. One day you’re living and the next you’re not. You think you know me, But you don’t. -Ahmed B. I have backstory Filled with travel and experience. I’ve had escapades My quests are like memories I can never have too many -Mena M. I zip-lined across forests Scuba dived with manatees And with orange balloon-shaped jellyfish I held abstract colored snakes And fed green old-aged turtles. I’ve swum in freezing cold college pools. From the bustling, lighted city of Chicago To the sweltering desert and mountains of Arizona And the glacier-frigid waterways of Alaska. There’s too much to explore A whole world is out there -Iris P. Just waiting for me. -Iris P.
I will diffuse my passion to others I will demonstrate the fruit of my hard work. I will become someone’s Form of absolute salvation. My dream. No, my goal since I was young is to join or even surpass the greats. To originate a new form of art. My dream is to share my bottled-up creativity With the world and to be accepted. Life-long creativity. It’s overflowing with ideas. And now, it’s time to share them. Let my passion overflow. -Denice G. I have a dream That makes me work to the Extreme I want to be the best I want to impress. I want to be a superstar I want to get far I want to get the crown and never get down. The only way I can get there Is if I keep moving forward I will keep dreaming Until I start gleaming. -Alexa G.
